Merge tag 'tty-3.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty
Pull tty/serial driver fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a number of small tty/serial driver fixes for 3.15-rc2. Also
in here are some Documentation file removals for drivers that we
removed a long time ago, no need to keep it around any longer.
All of these have been in linux-next for a bit"

Just use a command line -argument (irq=xx) to the insmod program to set the interrupt. - -The BIOS assigns the IRQ on the PCI version. You have no say in what -IRQ to use in that case. - -If your specialix cards are not at the default locations, you can use -the kernel command line argument "specialix=io0,irq0,io1,irq1...". -Here "io0" is the io address for the first card, and "irq0" is the -irq line that the first card should use.

The rev 1.3 and newer boards use a CL-CD1865. These chips -are officially capable of 115k2. - -The Specialix card uses a 25MHz crystal (in times two mode, which in -fact is a divided by two mode). This is not enough to reach the rated -115k2 on all ports at the same time. With this clock rate you can only -do 37% of this rate. This means that at 115k2 on all ports you are -going to lose characters (The chip cannot handle that many incoming -bits at this clock rate.) (Yes, you read that correctly: there is a -limit to the number of -=bits=- per second that the chip can handle.) - -If you near the "limit" you will first start to see a graceful -degradation in that the chip cannot keep the transmitter busy at all -times. However with a central clock this slow, you can also get it to -miss incoming characters. The driver will print a warning message when -you are outside the official specs. The messages usually show up in -the file /var/log/messages . - -The specialix card cannot reliably do 115k2. If you use it, you have -to do "extensive testing" (*) to verify if it actually works. - -When "mgetty" communicates with my modem at 115k2 it reports: -got: +++[0d]ATQ0V1H0[0d][0d][8a]O[cb][0d][8a] - ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ - -The three characters that have the "^^^" under them have suffered a -bit error in the highest bit.

It was colored as indicated. - Check that yours is the same before you trust me on this. - - -Hardware handshaking issues. -============================ - -The driver can be told to operate in two different ways. The default -behaviour is specialix.sx_rtscts = 0 where the pin behaves as DTR when -hardware handshaking is off. It behaves as the RTS hardware -handshaking signal when hardware handshaking is selected. - -When you use this, you have to use the appropriate cable. The -cable will either be compatible with hardware handshaking or with -software handshaking. So switching on the fly is not really an -option. - -I actually prefer to use the "specialix.sx_rtscts=1" option. -This makes the DTR/RTS pin always an RTS pin, and ioctls to -change DTR are always ignored. I have a cable that is configured -for this. - - -Ports and devices -================= - -Port 0 is the one furthest from the card-edge connector. - -Devices: - -You should make the devices as follows: - -bash -cd /dev -for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 \ - 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 -do - echo -n "$i " - mknod /dev/ttyW$i c 75 $i - mknod /dev/cuw$i c 76 $i -done -echo "" - -If your system doesn't come with these devices preinstalled, bug your -linux-vendor about this. They have had ample time to get this -implemented by now. - -You cannot have more than 4 boards in one computer. The card only -supports 4 different interrupts. If you really want this, contact me -about this and I'll give you a few tips (requires soldering iron).... - -If you have enough PCI slots, you can probably use more than 4 PCI -versions of the card though.... - -The PCI version of the card cannot adhere to the mechanical part of -the PCI spec because the 8 serial connectors are simply too large. If -it doesn't fit in your computer, bring back the card. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - Fixed bugs and restrictions: - - During initialization, interrupts are blindly turned on. - Having a shadow variable would cause an extra memory - access on every IO instruction. - - The interrupt (on the card) should be disabled when we - don't allocate the Linux end of the interrupt. This allows - a different driver/card to use it while all ports are not in - use..... (a la standard serial port) - == An extra _off variant of the sx_in and sx_out macros are - now available. They don't set the interrupt enable bit. - These are used during initialization. Normal operation uses - the old variant which enables the interrupt line. - - RTS/DTR issue needs to be implemented according to - specialix' spec. - I kind of like the "determinism" of the current - implementation. Compile time flag? - == Ok. Compile time flag! Default is how Specialix likes it. - == Now a config time flag! Gets saved in your config file. Neat! - - Can you set the IO address from the lilo command line? - If you need this, bug me about it, I'll make it. - == Hah! No bugging needed. Fixed! :-) - - Cirrus logic hasn't gotten back to me yet why the CD1865 can - and the CD1864 can't do 115k2. I suspect that this is - because the CD1864 is not rated for 33MHz operation. - Therefore the CD1864 versions of the card can't do 115k2 on - all ports just like the CD1865 versions. The driver does - not block 115k2 on CD1864 cards. - == I called the Cirrus Logic representative here in Holland. - The CD1864 databook is identical to the CD1865 databook, - except for an extra warning at the end. Similar Bit errors - have been observed in testing at 115k2 on both an 1865 and - a 1864 chip. I see no reason why I would prohibit 115k2 on - 1864 chips and not do it on 1865 chips. Actually there is - reason to prohibit it on BOTH chips. I print a warning. - If you use 115k2, you're on your own. - - A spiky CD may send spurious HUPs. Also in CLOCAL??? - -- A fix for this turned out to be counter productive. - Different fix? Current behaviour is acceptable? - -- Maybe the current implementation is correct. If anybody - gets bitten by this, please report, and it will get fixed. - - -- Testing revealed that when in CLOCAL, the problem doesn't - occur. As warned for in the CD1865 manual, the chip may - send modem intr's on a spike. We could filter those out, - but that would be a cludge anyway (You'd still risk getting - a spurious HUP when two spikes occur.)..... - - - - Bugs & restrictions: - - This is a difficult card to autoprobe. - You have to WRITE to the address register to even - read-probe a CD186x register.
